From a hospital bed, Ben begins telling the story of events he can no longer avoid. Recently turned fourteen, he must account for a desperate crime, a dangerous friendship, a car crash and a shocking accident, knowing that his words may become evidence in court. Reconstructing what happened forces him to revisit decisions whose consequences have reached far beyond anything he expected. As the narrative moves through his recollections, the question becomes whether facing the past can make a different future possible. Duncan Mackay's young adult novel combines the urgency of a confession with a story of pressure, responsibility and growing up, following a boy caught between the need to explain himself and the difficult work of understanding his own actions.
